Privileged Access & Password Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A recent cyber incident exposed critical gaps in password policy enforcement and privileged access controls, creating an urgent compliance-driven risk to public systems and data. A fragmented multi-vendor security environment compounds exposure and underscores the need for a consolidated, policy-driven approach.
The opportunity
With a FY 2026–2027 budget hearing approaching and $3.4M proposed for public safety technology, funding alignment is imminent. Federal justice assistance grant opportunities further support cybersecurity tool investments, making this the optimal window to remediate audit findings and reduce operational risk.

About this project
An ongoing IT modernization effort—including backup/disaster recovery and annual hardware refresh—is complicated by a fragmented, multi-vendor security posture. A recent cyber incident exposed critical gaps in password policy and privileged-access controls, elevating compliance and operational risk across the organization.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and a centralization-driven increase in IT funding create a near-term window to consolidate security operations and close documented compliance gaps. Federal justice assistance grant funding is available for eligible cybersecurity and public-safety technology improvements, reducing local cost burden.

Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate requires accessible digital services by 2028, and gaps in current web properties create legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. Non-compliance risks civil liability and excludes residents with disabilities from essential government services.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline creates a defined remediation window, and acting now reduces costly last-minute fixes and audit risk. Active IT modernization efforts and an expanded technology budget provide a viable, fiscally responsible funding path for accessibility improvements this planning cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A newly completed EOC signals readiness to address persistent gaps: no countywide outdoor warning system, an outdated hazard mitigation plan, absent public HSEEP exercises, and legacy mass-notification platforms still in use. A recent local disaster declaration underscores the operational and life-safety risk of delayed action.
The opportunity
A proposed $3.4M public safety technology budget and an available direct funding path create a timely opening to consolidate notification platforms and close preparedness gaps ahead of the FY 2026–2027 budget cycle. Acting now aligns investment with new leadership priorities and strengthens community resilience before the next declared emergency.

Discuss this project →Fire Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Historical collision records, aging fire apparatus, and the absence of documented video or telematics systems point to a preventive safety gap across the municipal fleet. Existing integrations with fleet management and GIS platforms provide a ready foundation for telematics adoption, reducing liability and improving operational visibility.
The opportunity
The arrival of new fire department leadership creates a timely opening to advance fleet safety investment, and cooperative purchasing agreements offer a streamlined procurement path. With public safety technology funding proposed in the upcoming budget cycle, acting now positions the initiative for favorable consideration and measurable risk reduction.
